Finally, Vero Beach faced off against Fort Pierce Westwood in the finals.
Early on, heavily favored Vero Beach took a quick 13-0 lead over Fort Pierce Westwood.
But as the game progressed, Fort Pierce Westwood steadily kept taking control away from Vero Beach with timely defensive stop and some offensive movement on its own.
Finally, Fort Pierce Westwood (7-0) was crowned today’s champion. This was due to a 23-20 comeback effort that was completed with 44 seconds left, when quarterback Joseph Weathers (2026) found athlete Traveon Townsend (2026) in the middle of the field to rattle Vero Beach.
